In sin conceived, for all have sinned, condemned we stood, rebellion’s toll.
To seek a bride , the Holy Son of God came down to live as kin;
He paid the price for rebel deed, for us, for us, for us he died;
His riven side on cross poured forth water and blood; ‘twas prophesied,
The Church, Christ’s holy bride, was born from Jesu’s piercéd side, on rood:
O blood and water from that side, ‘twill be to us a healing flood
By faith, we take thy pledgéd troth and give our hearts to thy blessed love,
To God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, one,
Yet God hath loved our poor lost souls, and sent his Son to make us whole
Didst shed his blood, to pledge his troth, that we be freed by grace from sin
He paid the awful debt incurred ,with shameful death, when crucified
when Eve, by God’s command, came forth from Adam’s side, to be his bride.
In water and in blood that flowed, came cleansing bath and holy food.
By faith, we thrust into thy side our hands, and know thee, Lord and God.
Jesus the only Truth that’s giv’n to fit our souls for heaven above
in three, all glory ever be ‘til age of ages endless run.
